The New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls 128–116 at Madison Square Garden on November 2, 2025, behind Jalen Brunson's 31 points and OG Anunoby's 21-point effort. New York's offense hummed at a 125.9 rating while clamping Chicago's attack to 116.2 on the defensive end, a decisive advantage that reflected the 12-point margin. The Knicks made 20 three-pointers on 45.3 percent shooting overall and distributed 31 assists against just 11 turnovers, controlling tempo and spacing. Chicago, led by Josh Giddey's 23 points and Nikola Vučević's 17, shot efficiently at 48.4 percent but committed 14 turnovers and managed only 28 assists, symptoms of a disjointed offensive flow. The third quarter proved pivotal—New York outscored Chicago 37–29 to build separation—while the Bulls' first quarter output of just 24 points left them chasing from the opening tip. The Knicks' depth and ball movement proved too much for a Bulls roster still searching for consistent chemistry early in the season.
